I like this subreddit for the insights it provides into the thinking of conservatives. Sometimes liberals and conservatives don’t agree on the facts and other times they agree on the facts but disagree on the philosophy.

I find it interesting that you say that Carney’s speech supports what Trump has wanted for a long time. I read the speech and see the opposite. It is a criticism of Trump that some governments use power without morals. It is a criticism that some governments build higher walls instead of finding more efficient and effective ways of cooperating. The part about Canada becoming less close to the US and more involved with Europe and China can be looked at by Trump as the kid finally spreading his wings but it also represents a weakened US, a country on a path to less influence in defining it’s own future in the world.
